Maxwell Locke & Ritter, the largest locally owned and managed accounting firm in Central Texas, has been on the prestigious list of employers for nine consecutive years, first topped the list in 2019, and received a second-place ranking in 2020. Receiving the top honor twice in three years is a rare and exciting accomplishment for the 150-person firm.
“We are honored and humbled to once again be named the ‘#1 Best Mid-sized Accounting Firm to Work for,’” said Kyle Parks, leading partner at Maxwell Locke & Ritter.
“Thirty years ago, our founders, Earl Maxwell, Tom Locke and Mark Ritter, centered our core values around our people, clients and community. Since our inception, every partner and team member has shared responsibility for our firm’s culture. Each of us takes ownership of fostering a workplace where our people enjoy their jobs and the team they work with, provide exceptional service to their clients, contribute to the community and maintain a healthy work-life balance, honoring their personal and family commitments,” said Parks.
“While this year’s award is further testament that our founders’ dream of creating a truly unique CPA firm experience has come to fruition, we are committed to continued improvement and always doing right by our people, not for hope of recognition, but simply because it’s the right thing to do.”
